There are simply no words to explain the gratitude we have for T. M. and
the wonderful work that she does. And it would be a complete

understatement to say that she has changed our lives.

L., our second child and first bundle of pure boy was just four months
old when he developed a very severe skin condition. Imagine open

wounds (for want of a better word) constantly inflamed and itching,
weeping and bleeding continually over his clothes, his bedding, his
family, and now imagine trying to explain to a tiny little person that he

can't scratch...that it was necessary to wrap him from head to toe and for
him to wear socks to cover his weapons (his toe and finger nails)
To us, he was L. our beautiful little baby and we thought he was just that
he'd laugh and play as any other child but when we went out...there were

the stares, the looks of judgement (did they spill hot water on him?) or
the sighs of pity (what's wrong with him?/what happened?/oh the poor

thing) and then the constant flow of suggested miracle cures (the inside
of banana peel/ thrush cream all over his face will do it.)

We're pretty thick skinned but it was getting beyond heartbreaking to

have to tell people that asked "what's wrong with him?" that we didn't
know. And even more heartbreaking to admit to ourselves that we didn't
know how to help our little boy who would look at us with his big round

eyes just begging for relief.

After months and months of trying numerous doctors (including one of
the best pediatricians), a night in hospital undergoing intense moisture

treatment, naturopaths, homeopaths, all that the internet seemed to offer
in regards to diet and topical treatments and even some of the wacky
treatments that had been suggested to us, we were referred to T.. True,

we were skeptical we'd been referred before with rave reviews to others,
so how was T. any different?

Well, we emailed her, explaining Logan's condition,T. rang us - straight

away. The professionalism she spoke with was reassuring, her honesty,
her thoroughness, refreshing, and the compassion for what we'd been

through, honestly made me want to cry. She wasn't quick to diagnose,
